Until then, AREA had been using a pit approximately 10 m long for the<strong>vehicle maintenance<\/strong>. This concrete pit did not allow the company to work in optimal conditions, as it was too short and right in front of the workshop manager's door. This garage pit had too many <strong>risks for mechanics<\/strong>. It was therefore decided to break it up, then fill it in to install a <strong>2-post lift<\/strong> instead.<\/p><p>On the second bay of the workshop, Xpertive has installed a <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>new pit 18.5m long, fully equipped with 2 aluminium slatted pit covers<\/strong> <\/span>extruded with a strength of 1,500kg per m2, a platform with guardrails for safe passage when the pit is open, and an exit ladder in the middle of the pit, <strong>pit edge jack storage system behind the stairs<\/strong>2 niches of 1m for the <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">storage of oil reels and used oil disposal equipment<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p><p>The installation wasn't the easiest of tasks, as it involved cutting out the existing workshop slab to install the new garage pit. The main difficulty lay in the fact that 2 paraseismic tie rods (concrete sills in the ground holding the building structure together) were located right at the pit excavation. We therefore had to cut them out and make up for the tie beams. To do this, we made steel structures that were fixed on either side of the pit and embedded in the concrete when it was cemented into the ground.<\/p><p>Once the PVC ducts have been laid for the power supplies, <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>compressed air, pit ventilation, electricity, oils and fluids<\/strong><\/span>We made the connections from the existing oil mill, connected the compressed air and installed the <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">pit ventilator compulsory<\/span><\/strong> for all new pits, connect the drain pan to the tank. <strong><span style=\"color:
